Fig. 1A. : survival rates for C57BL/6 mice infected with Plasmodium berghei (Pb) (solid line) or green fluorescent protein-expressing Pb (PbGFP) (dashed line). The log-rank test revealed no differences in the survival curves when the Pb-infected (n = 10) and PbGFP-infected C57BL/6 mice (n = 10) were compared. Evolution of parasitaemia in Pb (black symbols) or PbGFP-infected (white symbols) mice measured by microscopy (B) or cytometry (C). The results are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation from at least six animals per group in two different experiments. Gating strategy used to isolate total red blood cells (RBCs) based on forward scatter (FSC) and side scatter (SSC), and representative dot-plots demonstrate the increase in fluorescence, as indicated by an increase in GFP expression in the RBCs is shown in C.
